I've manached to get my Valve Block to work again - Pictures!!!
I've manached to get my Valve Block to work again!
Hello guys, some of you already know that I have some problmes with the ABS suspension, the front gets down after the car has been stopped for 10 minutes. I haven't looked underneath the car yet but I think it's the valve block where the problem is so I've just bought a second-hand valve block. So far, I have disassambled and cleaned the valves and the oil tank. However I want to clean them again with "brake cleen" and also with compressed air. Here I leave some photos. This is just the beguining but I'll keep you guys informed of every step with new photos and explanations. Le's start:
This is the block I bought
Images of the valve block dismantled:
As you can see, within the gaps where the high pressure tubes get screwed there is a tiny metal filter
Removing the valve
We spray every hole of the valve block with the cleaning product

OK, cleaning the aluminum block

Everything went very good, It is an easy job, all it’s needed to be done is to jack up the car, remove the left front wheel, the plastic lid to have access to the Valve-Block, the electrical connectors, the pressure tubes and at the end, the screws that hold the Valve Block. After the Valve Block is changed follow the same steps but backwards.
The pressure tubes can be removed without any problem, just like a 100 mililitres of hydraulic fluid will come out.
Here I post some photos but I think there is no need for any picture because everything is very easy. More or less it takes an hour to do the job.
I’m very content because now the front of the car does not drop, before I changed the Valve Block I went down two minutes after I turned off the engine.
